Barley
an English Village
Published by J C Wilkerson,
Undated
[British Library gives 1969]
A4 Hardback - plain black cover, 94 pages
This book is a bit of a puzzle. It is a miscellaneous collection of photographs (and a few drawings) of Barley in the early 20th century in a somewhat random order. All have a short title, and a few have some extended text. The printing quality is not good and the copy I have is bound in plain black covers with no title. There is no index. It is privately published and probably had a small print run. The Cambridge University Library suggests a date of circa 1980. The most recent photograph was taken in 1956.
